they ask you to produce an account …Betterhelp Cancel Membership…and after that you established your payment preferences i’ll talk about this a little bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the price and after that you can likewise alter your preference on how typically
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive however you can also pay ahead of time which will make the expense more affordable for you general and after that based upon your answers to your concerns in the formerly pointed out questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not always the case and i believe that much better aid provides both kinds of mental health professionals so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to talk with them and you can establish a time to have your first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a regular telephone call or through a chat or instant message i always do video calls however it is excellent to know that all four choices 3 really to me however they state it’s four are offered and i understand that’s definitely helpful for some people who are perhaps a little bit more nervous about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and after that you await your counselor to sign up with and they will link you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can start having your your conference throughout your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a be familiar with you type of session to figure out why are you interested in therapy what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as somebody participating in treatment what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first meeting and after that with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can discuss your problems and whatever it is that you wish to attend to and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or however you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i think this does differ by therapist however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have actually spent for all of my sessions beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the biggest pros of better aid is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it really available and extremely convenient for most people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a range of various ways to consult with your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you tips about your appointment so it’s quite challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email tips and text suggestions and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely efficient and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are offered to anybody who utilizes betterhelp totally totally free it’s at no additional cost to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my opinion the app and the platform is not very good in fact it type of sucks especially thinking about that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re offering the network however i believe truly what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s quite cumbersome there are no alternatives for screen sharing Betterhelp Cancel Membership
